Pearland Roofing Roofing and Siding in Alvin
Alvin incorporated in 1893, a year before Pearland was platted, and is the oldest incorporated town in Brazoria County. It had 27,098 residents at the 2020 census, in houses that span more than a century.
Its own city: Alvin has its own permitting. County: Brazoria, a TWIA first-tier county.
Tropical Storm Claudette stalled over the area and dropped 43 inches of rain on Alvin in 24 hours, at the time the largest 24-hour rainfall on record in the United States.
No roof from 1979 is still on a house. The lesson is about water, not wind: a town that can take that kind of rain needs gutters, downspouts and grading that move roof water away from the slab and off the lot.
An Older Town, Mixed Houses
Like Pearland’s own Old Townsite, Alvin’s older neighborhoods mix pier-and-beam houses with slab houses from later decades, each on its own roof schedule. Newer subdivisions on the edges of town follow the production-house pattern: builder roofs in batches of the same age.
The National Weather Service’s Alvin stations recorded gusts around 40 mph during Beryl, well below Pearland’s 70, which is a reminder that damage across a county is not even.
